Whole House Fan Installation in Fresno, CA
Fresno summers are long and dry, and the nights cool off. A properly sized whole house fan turns that swing into free cooling.
Whole House Fan Installation for Fresno Homes
Jack Surabian Electric works out of 4647 S Cherry Ave in Fresno, and whole house fans are one of the most cost-effective upgrades we install for local homeowners. Fresno runs well over a hundred days above 90 degrees in a typical year, but overnight lows regularly drop into the sixties. A whole house fan is built to exploit exactly that pattern.
The fan pulls cool evening air in through open windows, moves it through the living space, and pushes the hot air that has been baking in your attic all day out through the roof and gable vents. Within twenty to thirty minutes the house is flushed and the attic is no longer radiating heat down into your ceilings at midnight.
The result for most Fresno homes is a significantly shorter air conditioning run time in the evening and early morning. On mild days in May, June, September, and October, many homeowners find they barely touch the thermostat at all.

How We Size and Install a Whole House Fan in Fresno
Sizing comes first. A whole house fan is rated in CFM, and the rule of thumb is roughly two to three air changes per hour for the conditioned space. We measure your square footage and ceiling height rather than guessing, because an undersized fan disappoints and an oversized fan starves for exhaust venting.
Attic exhaust venting is the part most people miss. A fan needs roughly one square foot of net free vent area for every 750 CFM it moves. If your Fresno attic has minimal gable or ridge venting, we add venting as part of the job so the fan can actually breathe.
Electrically, the unit gets a properly sized circuit, a listed disconnect where required, and a timer or wall control placed where you will actually use it. We pull the permit with the City of Fresno where the work requires one and handle the inspection.
